Diamond polished to a rich black surface, this Aluminum Oxide is our most economically priced material and one of the first ceramic rings to widely popularize insert guides. Strength and durability allows mounting without a shock ring.
Hialoy represents the hardest grade of Aluminum Oxide available. Strength and durability allows mounting without a shock ring for lighter weight and better heat dissipation. Hialoy has become the most popular choice of many major rod manufacturers. This high grade ceramic ring is diamond polished to reduce friction and line wear. Hialoy guides will provide many years of service in all salt and freshwater applications making them an ideal choice for any rod.
Pacific Bay International has combined the TiGOLD and TiCH coatings with a diamond polished Zirconia ceramic ring. The Zirconia ring has similar qualities to Silicon Carbide. It offers the ideal surface for applying an incredibly smooth TiGOLD or TiCH finish to create one of the most durable and cosmetically appealing guides ever offered to the fishing rod manufacturing industry.
Precision molded in Japan, SiC rings are at the top of our line. They are diamond polished to the smoothest possible surface among the ceramic materials. Silicon Carbide will provide the ultimate in abrasion, corrosion, and thermal shock resistance, a performance plus on any rod where line speed, friction, and heat build-up are at the maximum. Now, with the exception of the models B and RB, our current SiC guides and tops will feature newly re-designed rings that are thinner and lighter in weight, creating the perfect balance of performance and cosmetic appeal.
These extremely groove resistant carbide alloy rings, combined with their resistance to the corrosive effects of saltwater, make our CSBG & CSBBG guides and CSBT tops an ideal choice for offshore boat rods. They are also the guides and tops of choice to withstand the continual back and forth abrasion found in downrigger and wire line trolling.
A variety of saltwater guides made from durable stainless steel. Boat guides are available braced or unbraced and feature silver solder reinforced welds.
Stainless steel fly guides are offered with pre-ground feet and are available in a variety of styles such as lite wire snake, snake, large loop single foot and traditional single foot with insert ring.
Titanium Oxide rings are diamond polished to a smoother surface and are harder than many other manufacturer's Aluminum Oxide rings. Strength and durability allows mounting without a shock ring. The traditional TiOX rings have been an industry standard of rod manufacturers for many years and are a Pacific Bay exclusive.
Pacific Bay micro guides featuring both Minima (F series) and ceramic (FX series) ring configurations. Designed to withstand the rigors of today's professional tournaments.
